Heidi Dale

That's perfectly fine. We'll see you then. X

I'm attending the funeral I mentioned online so I didn't end up flying interstate!

Hey Debbie thank you!! I remembered it was 1.30. Dale ended up working over time over the weekend and is still working now but we are going to come late just for a drink. Probably around 2.30

Hi Heidi and Dale
After chatting to Michelle this morning, I realised I'd mentioned at Leifs party the time and place today, but didn't put it in writing.
Im sorry if this confused you.
We'll be at The Den, in Salamanca from 1.30.
Just come when you can,it will be lovely to see you. X

OK. Mum is in a bright orange puffer! About 8 rows back from the stage.

I'm
Not sure where he is atm

Then will come to you

Yep sorry just waiting for Dale to come back

That would be good. Mum's a bit tired.

Oh ok. Were outside but can come and find you?

We have a seat near Moo Brew

Will you have a table, close to the entry, or will we try and get one when we get in?

Ok

That's all good :) , it opens to the public at 4, we have tickets to the sensory session which is 3 - 4, so maybe we can meet you at 4

We have just got to Salamanca now. I know it can open at 3, but I don't know the best time to come in. So we might walk across in 20 minutes? And we'll let you know when we get in? Is that OK. Mum is with Michelle in the shop while Russell and I get a few groceries first at the IGA

Where shall we be meeting you all

Sure sounds good. Let us know a place and time
And we'll be there

Actually, that's a better idea!
If nothing changes, we'll meet at the feast.

Either or both works

Hey Debbie! We should be home so that sounds good! But we also have tickets to go to winter feast on Sunday from 3 so we could possibly meet there also

Hi Dale and Heidi
Next Sunday,(15th), I'm picking up Mum from the airport, around 12.30pm.
If you are home, I thought I could bring her around to see you both and Leif before taking her to the Winter's Feast with Michelle.

Thanks Debbie' that should be fine. Just let us know :)

Hi Dale and Heidi (and Leif of course)
We are hoping you can come out to a late lunch on Sunday 22nd June for Zoe's 30th.
We are not yet sure where we are going, but will let you know when we have numbers. X Debbie

the sticker book will be amazing for going out and we are teaching him the humping frog game

thank you for the plant and leifs presents too

oh no worries at all Debbie! Glad to hear you like them! Hopefully we can catch up soon when we are better

Merry Christmas Dale and Heidi.
Thank you for your lovely gifts. Yum! And the charger is an excellent gift. Thank you. X

Oh no worries at all! We really appreciated being able to stay! Hope you had an amazing trip. Looking forward to hearing about it!

Hi Dale and Heidi
Thank you for the wine, we discovered this afternoon as we got home to Bruny today.
You didn't need to do that, we were very happy you came over.
We hope everything was fine and we look forward to seeing you around Christmas. X

Thank you Debbie! He has had a lovely day! Michelle did give us a little mug from you both which is very cute and perfect as he broke one of his recently.

Hi Dale and Heidi
Happy 2nd birthday to Leif! We hope he had a lovely birthday and look forward to giving him his gift. Love Debbie and Russell xx

Excellent. Thank you

Thanks Debbie! I’ve been in contact with Janice about it. Well keep a look out

Hi Dale and heidi
Mum has a text to say the birthday parcel for Michelle is arriving today. Xx

Thanks, that is fine. I know, there is a lot of sickness around. Take care, and we'll see you sometime soon. X

Hey Debbie. Im so sorry we never got back to you on this. I had intended to but it completely slipped my mind. We have unfortunately all been unwell with a virus this week so won't make it tonight. Hoping to be rid of all of this sickness by chrismtas. Perhaps we will see you around Christmas for a catch up ? :)

Yep no worries we will know before then

It will be easy to just drop in, but they will need numbers by the 11th December.

Will let you know!

But in this scenario we maybe can!

Was just checking as if it was like a sit down dinner it might be a bit weird to drop in late

That might work then

Oh yep

It's just drinks, but people might buy food. I am assuming there might be some nibbles, but I wouldn't count on it.

Thanks Debbie! That looks nice! Is it like a dinner? As if we did come we would be a lot later than 4 due to dales work

Hi Dale and Heidi. I'm forwarding an invitation to my retirement 'do'! Absolutely no obligation, it is all school people, but if you'd like to drop in, that would be lovely. Zoe is going , Russell probably won't. Entirely up to you. X

Ok. That's disappointing for you.
We are nearly there.

Hey Debbie hope your day is going well, our photos were canceled due to weather :( we are now at the bowling alley :) see you soon

It is about an hour. So I reckon we'll be finished around 12.30. are the photos at home?
I'm sure it will be fine. Just turn up when you can. We'll try to work it.

Hi Debbie, we are going to try and get to bowling but we might be late due to our morning family photos we have had booked for 10.30-11.30.
It was the only date available so we wanted to get them booked as Bradley paid for them for us. We did think bowling would be later in the day so sorry it’s worked out that way!! How long do you think you will be at bowling?

The bowling is booked for 11.30, so a good idea to get there a little earlier.
The afternoon tea is 2 pm to 4pm. Then over to MAc 01 after that.
The time in between could be a quick look at Salamanca markets, or just to see the exhibition at Hadley's first. We'll see.
You've kept the secret beautifully, mum is quizzing me!

Hi Debbie that’s good to hear! Really glad you like it and hopefully you get some use out of it. We won’t be coming along to the breakfast sorry definitely coming later in the day. Are you able to confirm what times the bowling and afternoon tea are booked for

Hi Dale and Heidi
Thank you very much for your beautiful gift! I absolutely love it. I can see it being a lovely thing for guests on Bruny to use ... yourselves included!
We'll see you on Saturday, 9am, at Mt Nelson signal station. Xx

This is the message I sent out today.
The cost is for the breakfast and afternoon tea. No cost for bowling. X

Dear family
I'm really looking forward to seeing you all soon.
I'm sending you a little bit more information about the 25th...but not too much!
*What to wear- neat and casual. We are eating at a nice place.
* You'll need to bring shoes and socks to change into...(unless already wearing!🙂)
* Cost will be around $80 -$100 for the day. You might choose to spend more though. 😉
* There's plenty of time to relax.We're not going mad!
* A couple of things are booked but others parts of the day you'll have options depending how you feel.
I'm sure we all will have a lovely, fun day. Xx

Hi Debbie, sorry for the late reply, iv been snowed under with work.
Its been upsetting about Nanna passing but i got to talk to her on the day, she will be greatly missed.
thank you for helping out look after leif on the 27th it would be very appreciated im sure leif will enjoy it too. Also thank you for the offer for helping with the shed it just needs a few more things done but nothing major :)

Dale is back at work today but I’m sure he’ll see this and respond later too :)

Thanks so much Debbie. That’s very kind! We had a really rough few days with gastro and a head cold at the same time but are doing a bit better now. Will sing out if we need anything! Im sorry we couldnt coordinate in Canberra as well. It was a really short trip so we only really saw Michelle and Ross.

Should catch up soon. It’s been a while!

Hi Dale
I've just had a chat with Grandma and I'm very sorry to hear that your Nan passed away yesterday. That's such sad news, for you, especially following your grandfather and my Dad.
I also believe you and Heidi haven't been very well. Is there anything we can do to help out in some way? Happy to get things, cook, look after Leif? Just let us know if we can help.
Heidi, I hope you enjoyed Canberra, I'm sorry there wasn't an opportunity to see you.
Love to you both, and Leif. Xx

I'm sorry, Heidi I just realised I'd read your message, intending to reply! I'll be here until somewhere around mid August, so it's possible I'll still be here.

I wanted to say, that if you need a hand with building, advice re building or just a pair of hands to make things easier/more comfortable for Michelle, please let us know. We are very happy to help in some way. Xx

All good debbie! How long are you there? I’ll be in Canberra 15-17 august :)

Hi Dale and Heidi.
I'll be leaving on Sun for Melbourne then Canberra. Do you want me to take anything for you?
Hope all is well in your world. Xx

Excellent. So pleased you like it. We loved it. X

Will read it to Leif tonight

Also thank you for the lovely present! I love the book so much!

Love it thank you!!

I don't need you to have 4 of me, but you have a choice of the photobombing or not!
It was a lovely party.

No pressure! And yes it is :(

Ok. I'll see what I can do. It's such a shame Michelle can't come.
If you think of anything else that is needed, just let me know. We'll see you tomorrow.

Thanks Debbie! We are trying to keep it allergy friendly (as there are some babies with allergies - eg dairy and gluten) so you don’t need to worry! But if you really want to bring something, perhaps a packet of gluten free etc biscuits or just a packet or plain chips would be great!

Hi Dale and Heidi
We are looking forward to tomorrow.
I'd like to bring something so what do you suggest? Fruit? Cheese? Biscuits? Chocolate? Whatever you need is fine.
Debbie x

Yes, I knew they might be coming. Just getting Zoe now.

Hi Debbie, Auntie Di and uncle Lachlan are also visiting this afternoon sorry if we didn't mention it was organised after.
If you would like to get here a bit early we can do christmas presents?

Excellent. Well see you then.

Yes that should be fine :)

Yes! I completely forgot to confirm! Can we come around 11?

Hi Debbie, do you think you will be able to make it tomorrow? :)

No stress!

I'll let you know as soon as I know! X

sounds great

Probably can’t make it Friday either sorry! Dale will be at work and Leif and I have baby sensory class and an appointment in the city (his schedule is busier than most adults haha)

We will try. Sounds very possible.

Actually we will be home before 12 Saturday if you wanted to drop in before bowling but totally understand if not!

Arriving tomorrow night. He's working here all day Friday if you feel like a drive. Otherwise I'll see when he gets here more details.

Sorry Debbie Leif and I are already completely booked out this weekend! How long is Liam down for?

Hi Dale and Heidi
How are you? Liam is coming this weekend, and I wondered what you are doing Saturday around midday? The 4 of us are going bowling, if you'd like to join us, or drop in and Liam can meet Leif. He's pretty busy, so tricky to find a time!

Thank you Debbie!

Happy 1st wedding anniversary. I thought the date looked familiar and significant, but it took me a bit to think of why!
What a big 12 months. Xx

Perfect.

Hey Debbie sorry I just realised I didn’t tell you a time for tomorrow. Is around 5.30 or 6 ok?

Ok. I'll scrap that idea. Lucky I checked!

Ah no unfortunately

I thought a peach or apple crumble. Can you both eat peach/apple, coconut, oats,

Haha. Like. Need. Want...... its endless!
Leave the sweets to us!

Didn’t mean to write need on the end of that haha!

Great thanks Debbie! We haven’t really decided what to make yet but maybe burritos again or pasta. And dessert would be great! Perhaps even just some chocolate again? Or whatever you like really need

Hi Heidi and Dale. Zoe Russell and I will all be there Friday night for tea. What can we bring? Dessert?

Ok

Great! If you could let Zoe know that would be great! :)

Thats wonderful. Friday the 29th is good. Will I let Zoe know or will you?

We were going to get in touch soon as well as Bradley is coming down on Wednesday next week. I think he's going to get in touch with you anyway but we thought we could have you guys over for dinner one night. maybe Friday 29th, or a night the following week :)

oh thank you Debbie!! Me and Leif are much better now ad both testing negative but Dale unfortunately now has it and is in isolation until Monday.

Hi Heidi and Dale
Just wondering how you are all going. I hope you've both recovered quickly, and that Dale didn't get it too. X

Thank you Debbie!

Ok. I'm available tomorrow if you need me. Otherwise, thinking of you. X

Hi Debbi, sorry just got your message.
We had just done a big grocery shop so we are ok ATM :) thank you :)

Hi Dale and Heidi we should be at your place around 12, or soon after. Xx

It's ok :) thank you for being there

Oh no worries at all!! Glad you hear you got them :)

Hi Dale and Heidi. What a lovely surprise! Thank you for the gorgeous photos. A really thoughtful gesture to send them. X

Thanks Debbie!! We will keep that in mind! And yes I’ve definitely heard that. Let’s hope so😂

I'm sure you've been told the 1st 3 months are often the worst, so I hope that's the same for you. Thrilled about the house. Very exciting. Remember to ask for help if needed. We're very happy to do so. Xx

Thanks Debbie. I won’t lie, I have definitely have been pretty sick on and off but house is all going well!! We move in on the 13th December

Hope you are feeling well, Heidi. And the house buying/selling is working out. Xx

Thank you Debbie 🥰

Congratulations Dale and Heidi. We are absolutely overjoyed with the news. It has made our day. Michelle as just rung... 😘

Thanks Debbie! Yep just waiting for buyers to get finance approved but all is going well so far :)

Hi Dale and Heidi. Just hoping your open house went well! I just noticed on real estate.com you've had an offer! So exciting. Good luck. X

Thanks Debbie thats really lovely! We will definitely have everyone over for a BBQ or something over summer :)

Hi Dale and Heidi. I just wanted to congratulate you on the purchase of your new house. You must be thrilled. It looks pretty amazing. Well done, hope there weren't many more bidders so you didn't have to go too high. Xx

Have an early night, maybe 5.30? 😄 see you tomorrow.

Thanks Debbie! It hasn’t been super quiet but we are definitely very tired. Heading home now

Thought you'd like this one. Nataliea has a couple more. Hope you've had a quiet day. X

Thank you Debbie ☺️

I'm going to see how a correction of Rosa's name on a cut out piece of paper looks. If that looks awful we might have to leave it until we figure out what to do after the wedding.
Don't worry about the weather. It will all be beautiful.

Sorry late reply just finished up work for the week.

Looks fantastic Debbie :) really looking forward to seeing it in person, no more information from what we gave you.
just the Rosa zinghine was Carmela Chiarantano, Heidi's Dad was wrong

There will be a nice easel with paper board to back it at seagrass, if you wanted to get there a few minutes early to put it on that it that would be a amazing if not let me know, Dylan will be there already setting up the projector for the speechs.

Weather also is not looking great so bring an umbrella incase 😬

Thank you this really means a lot :)

No worries thank you! It looks really good

I'll try. I understand, it must be tricky. I won't do anything for a couple of days in case there's more information. I'll finish it Thursday

I’m
Really sorry about this. Getting my dads family information has been a bit of a challenge

Would it be possible to put a little piece of paper over that name with the correct one?

I don’t know where my dad got Rosa from but it must be wrong

Thanks Debbie! It looks great! Sorry about this. Most fo them are fine! Slightly different spellings but that’s not a big deal. At least we didn’t have any dates there and can now add those. the only one that is actually quite different is Rosa

I'll have a look add the other information this afternoon.

Hi Dale and Heidi
I finished last night. I knew I'd be too tired through the week and could make mistakes. I can add names and dates but I can't change anything that I've written. I'm almost scared to look.

Hi Debbie I have just received new info for Heidi s dad's family with years there is a difference in a few name :( sorry for the inconvenience, you don't have to change the Names if it is to hard

Great. Thanks. I assumed it was just a typi, but wanted to be sure.

Big P I believe

Even when it didn’t quite make sense

Playford was a well reknowned name (As there was a south australian premier - someone Playford) who is related so my guess is they tried to keep it in family as much as possible

It’s pretty odd haha!

I know so much about your family! Such interesting names, Heidi!

Ok

For Thomas. I’ll let dale respond to the second question :)

Ok

And ellen mcphail is it a lower case p?

The name was correct

Yes

Or Thomas (honest) has 2 names. Do I put both? Playford and Drysdale?

I'll keep going then! Just making sure all names and dates are right before I start the real one. Just keep sending any new names or dates just so long as what I've got is correct. Eg 6th generation Thomas welbourn. Does he have Playford as his last name too?

That looks great Debbie :O look forward too seeing it in person

Trying different pens too. 🙂

Thanks Debbie!!

Am playing around with this effect. The colours aren't quite right. Paper arrived today from the printer.

Looks good

Excellent. Thank you. I'll put it in.

Oh and Paolos father is Antonio Zappia

That’s all I have so far but we are stilll digging

And consiettinas Mum was Rosa Zinghine

So her dad Antonio zappia’s parents were Paolo Zappia and Philomenia Zappia

I can also provide some more info on philomenas parents

The years for Antonio lap aglia are correct

I talked to my dad tonight

Hi Debbie

Just don't want people to think I'm your mum!

Green is fine!

Beautiful. It will be so lovely. I bought my top today, still a bit green but not too much! Hope you have a good week.

And we have a friend playing guitar at the ceremony

Yea it will just be played of a speaker - like from Spotify

This looks great. Well done. I'm really looking forward to it. Are you having music/dancing?

There is a seperate one for ceremony :)

Just for reception

Also just in case you wanted to know. Here is the run sheet :)

Yes.makes sense....one of my ancestors had 11 children, then his wife died and had 11 more with the next wife! What a life!

Two different mothers though if that makes more sense

Yes , He had 10 kids Heidi's mum was the youngest, and she lived up till recently with her sister who is 91 who's now in a nursing home 🏠

Would have had a different view of fatherhood to a younger dad, a wiser view maybe.

Yep my mums dad was old ;)

Ok. Haha! Just wasn't sure.

I know it’s odd lol

Eric Devine is 1905

Thanks Heidi. I'll leave it a couple of days. So nice to have you both over last night. Hope you have a good week!

Thanks Debbie! Dale will send you the updated version but there will still be gaps on my side yes. We are awaiting info from my dad which hopefully will come through soon

Hi Dale and Heidi. I've written all the names in on the copy. I know you have more info to send. There's a big gap on heidis side. And I've put some ? Or circles to check. If you can't zoom in, let me know.

Great.

We are on our way

Hi Dale and Heidi Dylan and Nataliea are here. What time do you think you'll be here?

Absolutely. As Russell says, the perfect one is waiting for you. Roll on wedding!

But that’s ok! Less stress at least :)

We didn’t get it sadly!!

Any news? 🏠

Yeast extract is fine :)

Not sure about yeast extract. If you're not sure, I'll leave it out.

Ok will do. I was going to be so careful, I'd hate to make you sick!

Most should be fine - just make sure the ingredients don’t include wheat or barley :)

Ok thank you:)

No, I'll have the bread, and I knew about pasta, but good to know to look for gluten free stock. Just bring yourselves. X

Should be ok as long as the stock is gluten free and there is no pasta - I can bring some gluten free bread ?

Hi Heidi we're looking forward to seeing you both tomorrow. Are you able to eat minestrone? With stock? I won't put pasta in. It has vegetables, tomato passata, beans, herbs, red wine. I can modify if any ingredients you can't have. X

Hi Debbie. Thanks for reaching out. Everything is going ahead as planned at this stage. Not much left to do. Can't think of anything specific but we will let you know if something comes up.

Hi Dale and Heidi. I've waited until now to contact you about the wedding, and to ask if there is anything we can do to help. I know so much is in the air, and is probably stressful. Just let us know if you need us for anything. Xx

Perfect! You must be getting busy. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Happy to. X

Oh no worries Debbie! It’s just a save the date at this stage! We will send actual invites too. Will be great to have you there though :)

Hi Heidi and Dale
Very excited to get your invite. Thank you. Keen as mustard tone there. X

Now I think that's all. Sorry if I doubled up. I seem to have sent lots to many different people!

Hi Debbie, so are we.
No theres nothing you need to bring :) just turn up, we hope you have a good night

Debbie named the group Heidi Dale.

Hi Heidi and Dale. We are looking forward to tomorrow evening. Is there anything we can do to help. Or anything we need to know? I'm assuming we just turn up!

Debbie created the group chat.
